Recent worthwhile form is thin on the ground in this but Quest Magic was probably just about still in front when falling at the last at Perth in July. Catchthemoonlight has been knocking on the door but she remains winless while Uriah Heep is not the force of old. Solway Prince only has one win to his name and is still on a higher mark so we'll take the chance that SUPRISE VENDOR can translate his good form over fences here to hurdles as he's probably on a fair mark now.
